A Family Portrait Is A Great Way To Capture Memories With Your Family
August 22, 2010
If your family has an annual portrait taken, your family may dread the photo session time. Perhaps it is a holiday photo complete with matching sweaters and the photo ends up on your Christmas cards. Maybe in April you head to the photographer and a pic is snapped of everyone in frilly sundresses and linen suits. These photos are cute, but they often neglect to capture the true spirit of your family. The poses can be uncomfortable, the smiles are faked, and everyone ends up looking more goofy than loving and close. Instead of sticking with tradition, why not make a change? Once a great photograph has been taken, display it over the mantel or living room sofa with a battery operated picture light. battery picture lights highlight the photo so it becomes the centerpiece of the room, which should be the purpose. Instead of another goofy family picture on the wall in the hallway and having your kids and visitors laugh at how you look, find a professional photographer that can capture the true spirit of your family.
Maybe your family loves the same hobby. Do you and your spouse hope the kids will grow up to enjoy golf as much as you do? Imagine how cute a portrait would be with the two of you in golf attire and baby popping out of a golf bag. Are weekend trips to the beach more your style? All of you can don your swimsuits and have the photo taken with beach balls and colorful beach towels surrounding you. Are winter sports your thing? Don your skis and winter coats and snap a pic. All of these themed photos reflect who you are as a family and they will remind you later in life, when everyone has grown older, of the great times you had together. The photos may still seem silly, but they capture the best memories your family has.
A creative way for using themed photograph is to reflect on the year and capture the best parts. For instance, if the best family memory of the year was adopting a new puppy, be sure to have the new family pet in the most current phot. If you all took a trip to the south, pop on your berets and pose for the shot. Was there a big news event that capture the attention of the globe? Dig out the newspaper from that day and get it into the photograph. This is a great way to incorporate current events into your photo in a natural way. Imagine the fun you would have with a picture of your grandparents holding a paper featuring the moon landing headline.
There are many options for those who want creative, fun family portraits.
